Yes, looking closely at the disc (and getting right up to the screen) there might be a little edge enhancement/digital manipulation, which isn't unusual from Universal. But in motion the film looks excellent.Looks a bit smoothed over to me so I will wait for the version from Explosive media. They already retained a more filmlike picture and a higher bitrate for Comanche Station compared to the French release from Sidonis so it will hopefully again be a better release.
And don't equate this Elephant release with others from Sidonis. I agree that Blus and DVDs from Sidonis can be truly awful, but this is much better quality than those. So not all French Blus are bad (Carlotta's discs, for example, are really excellent). And while Explosive Media do great stuff, I'd still be surprised if Universal isn't supplying the same scan for their release. Nice to have two releases to pick from regardless!
